Shrewdness-Stars

Shrewdness-Star medals are awarded to the outstanding authors having a Shrewdness of 3 or above. Shrewdness is the average number of post recommendations that you received over the last trailing 12 months. And nothing earns recommendations like depth, care in the writing, insight and . . . good old being nice.

Clicking on the author's name whilst reading a post will show their details page, and their particular Shrewdness.

A new Shrewdness-Star medal is provided for the following levels of Shrewdness: 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12 and 16, plus mystery medals at higher levels. The number of points in the star's shape always matches its own Shrewdness!
